Following on from his design of the Abyss Coffee Table, designer Christopher Duffy, has created the Abyss Dining Table for Duffy London. Christopher Duffy explains, “I was looking into sheets of thick glass at my glass manufacturer’s factory, and noticed how the material darkened as they added more layers – the same way the sea does as it deepens.”
He continues, “I wanted to use this effect to replicate a real piece of the earth’s sea bed. Like a mythical power had lifted a perfect rectangle straight from the earth’s crust to use as his personal ornament.” The table also has lights within it that enable the depths of the ‘water’ to be easily viewed. The dining table will be limited to an edition of 25 pieces.
